Can we Lebanese relate to the Mexican culture and they relate to us ??
I’ve a very strong affection for Mexico … I don't know where it came from since I've never been there and never knew any Mexicans in my life before …
Answer:
Not really there’s not any genetic relationship among lebaneses and mexicans, but since several families from lebanon arrived to Mexico during the diaspora, now there’s a close relationship between lebaneses of second and third generation who were born in Mexico.. as a Mexican i can tell you that my country have a lot of respect for those lebaneses because they contributed a lot not just culturally but also economically during the last 2 centuries. From lebaneses we learnt for instance new forms of trading, as i mentioned in other questions, lebaneses and jewish were the first who stablish the sistem of purchases on credit.. in the earliest 19th they use to go by tricicles or bicicles home by home selling since spices to cloths and kitchen stuffs, then they stablish their own stores where you were able to go and purchase on credito bases..another thing is that culturally they were very active in the world of cine and theather..in some cities like Yucatan where a big amount of lebaneses families settle down they even fussed their cousine with our mexican cousine.. even i can say that they brought the costum of honour St Charbel wich right now isn’t just saint of Lebanese comunity but also a lot of mexicans honour him so i can say that mexicans we love the “arbanos” or turcos as we use to call those lebaneses.
Now in opposite i don’t think that lebaneses out of Mexico have a common with my country because our diaspora has just been to our BİG neighbour, but who know as Phoenicians were great navigators they could go to our continent and be in our land….other than it there’s nothing that show any relation from Mexico to lebanon..your country is far a way of ours so…
Regarding affection well this is common i have a great affection to lebanon although i have never been there.. believeme this feeling is like being nostalgic of something you lost since long time ago and you can not recover it.. why i do not know! might be in one of my past lifes i was lebanese
Answer:
-Both have massive families
-Families are also a big priority, so Mexicans like to meet up with their hundred cousins on a weekly basis just as much as we do
-Both use rice, beans, and spices a lot in their cooking
-Spanish has influence from Arabic, so there are a lot of common cognate words such as “arroz”, “pantalones”, “azzucar”, “blusa”, “camisa”, etc
-As Tristan stated, both countries are suffering from economic problems
-There are similar physical features, such as most people have dark hair
-I can't really explain it, but when you're in with a group of Mexican friends or with their family, it's different than being with other Westerners. You get the same atmosphere and feeling of an Arab family
You've never met any Mexicans??? LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Come to where I live, then you'll see why I think that's so funny ![]()
Answer:
I'm Mexican =D
And I concur with Liberal, Arpsy and Soccer Darling!
However, I’m not aware of Lebanon’s economical situation, so I can’t really elaborate on that…
Anyway, we love and admire Lebanese, and also learned a lot from them. In relation to the film industry, I remember one of my favourite old Mexican movies, “El baisano Jalil”, about a Lebanese immigrant who became a successful businessman and although some snobbish people looked down on him and his family, he helped them out when they had problems. I was a lil’ kid when I first saw that movie so maybe that’s what kind of started to give me a good impression about Lebanese in Mexico, which I later had the chance to experience in real life and still remains. =)
